"Gawalla xa hamattalla" - "Helping our People"

Mission Statement

The mission statement is based on the traditional value and belief that our purpose in life is about "servitude" or "helping our people". In order for us to fulfull that role, it requires us, individually, to be the best leader that we can be, in order to truly be in the place of "helping our people". This is the cornerstone or foundation of our way of life - the potlatch. The mission statement is further based on the belief that we must respect and honour people and deliver services and programs without stripping the dignity of the people we work with.

Vision Statement

"A community living in harmony (balance) with oneself and one's neighbour achieving a safe and holistic (addressing the physical, mental, emotional and spirtual) state of well being that includes embracing and celebrating community traditional beliefs and practices."
